Marissa Botello, LMFT
Therapeutic
Specializations
I treat many different populations and diagnosis.
This page helps explain what services I specialize in.
Attention Deficit Disorders
I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider and am able to assist in the screening and treatment planning of individuals with ADHD.
This includes individuals who in therapy can learn: impulse control, distress tolerance, value in routines, mindfulness, solution skills, emotional regulation, and management of executive functioning skills. ADHD is an often misunderstood diagnosis with struggles being both internal and external and present throughout all life phases. I hope to help and provide a safe environment to explore this condition with you.
I have received extensive training and certification for treating and working with ADHD. These trainings were comprehensive on how to treat and understand children and men who have ADHD. My passion for this population led me to search for and get inclusive training for treating women with ADHD. Women who have ADHD are often overlooked and go unsupported for many years with a diagnosis commonly occurring
later in life.
Adult Children and Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse
When looking for a therapist to process your past or current relationships with narcissistic individuals it is important the therapist has experience in understanding this specific type of abuse.
I have extensive knowledge of narcissistic abuse and how it appears in parent-child relationships as well as romantic relationships. My goal is to provide a safe and understanding therapeutic environment for clients looking to process and heal what has happened. Adults and teens who have a narcissistic parent or caregiver often begin to take on certain roles, responsibilities, attitudes, and coping skills to work around the narcissist's changing moods and abuse. Therapy can help bring personal understanding, boundary building, and psychoeducation on these individuals and our roles in relation to them.
Chronic Pain or Health Conditions
Treatment for chronic pain and health conditions does not stop once outside of the doctor offices. It is important to remember our mental health matters and gaining additional support can be beneficial in many ways. As a therapist I have knowledge in the connection between the neurological, mental, and physical aspects for those who have chronic pain and health conditions. This is also where my training in art therapy can help in processing the trauma experienced.
I am here to not just hear you - but to truly listen.
